I'm looking for feedback and balancing help here:
This is a monk tradition that I started thinking about after reading the Zhuangzi. I was inspired by the philosophical take on music and harmony, and thought it would be a cool idea to build a tradition around. My major complaint about most Monk traditions is that they rarely provide room for variation within each subclass. I wanted this tradition to offer more flexibility without replicating the problems with the 4 Elements subclass. So, I built it on the Totem Warrior chassis, giving options at each benchmark that would hopefully be flavorful while either making the monk better at their core functions or expanding their noncombat abilities.
Biggest concern: Is the central feature (Resonant Perception) balanced? I'm a bit worried about scaling and duration. Would a flat duration (until the end of your next turn) be better than increasing with levels (either per level or per 2 levels)?
In any case, and without further ado: The Way of the Cosmic Chord
